Harvesting energy using quantum computing might sound futuristic, but researchers at Purdue University in the US have turned this concept into reality. By leveraging quantum physics principles, they achieved something once considered a mere thought experiment—using quantum entanglement to teleport energy, store it, and potentially use it in practical applications. This idea, proposed over a decade ago, has now been realized with recent advancements in quantum technology. Quantum physics is an evolving field filled with unknowns. New theories often emerge and undergo extensive testing before becoming established principles that guide our understanding. Quantum computing chip. Kais and his team discovered how to use qubits—the fundamental components of quantum computing—to store this teleported energy effectively. (CREDIT: IBM) One such principle is that a perfectly empty space—often called a vacuum—doesn’t truly exist in the quantum realm. Even if space were devoid of atoms, tiny quantum fields would still linger, manifesting phenomena like quantum entanglement. The Concept of Teleporting Energy Quantum entanglement is one of the most intriguing phenomena in quantum physics. It describes a situation where particles …
